Highlights for the period
Leaving a legacy - Looking out for future Generations
1.2 Asset Protection
Interest sought in expansion of Murwillumbah industrial Land Swap
Flood-prone businesses keen to move to higher ground through an innovative Land Swap arrangement were urged to register their interest with Council. The
Land Swap was originally initiated by Council in the aftermath of the flood of March 2017 and is now fully subscribed with 8 businesses set to move to the new
site once completed. The February 2022 flood has illustrated the need to create additional employment land out of the flood zone. An extension of the land
swap initiative will require suitable land to be identified and financial support from NSW Government.

1.3 Utility Services
More than 7,900 tonnes of flood-related waste was delivered to Stotts Creek Recovery Centre by 16 March, with that figure increasing by up to 1,100 tonnes
per day as more haulage trucks came online. This is in addition to approximately 30,000 tonnes of clean fill from landslips and river mud which was diverted
for processing and reuse where possible. The size and scale of the clean-up was far bigger than the 2017 flood when 20,000 tonnes of flood waste was
landfilled, and 25,000 tonnes of fill was diverted, processed and reused.

Flood costs Tweed businesses $57 million
The devastating February flood which hit the Tweed is estimated to have cost local businesses more than $57 million in damages and loss of trade. The
staggering figure came from self-assessments of the flood impact by 193 Tweed businesses who voluntarily responded to Council’s Business Flood Impact
Assessment survey. Council is using the information to advocate for greater funding assistance and support for businesses hit by the flood.

Businesses invited to join Why Leave Town program
As businesses struggled to get back on their feet in the wake of the devastating flood, Council got behind the expansion of the innovative, Why Leave Town
pilot gift card program, designed to keep money in the local community by encouraging people to shop locally.

3.3 Moving Around
Tweed Coast Road upgrade key to new housing and jobs
Preparatory works to widen Tweed Coast Road to 4 lanes began with projects to install underground infrastructure now underway. Tweed Coast Road is the
main arterial road servicing the Tweed Coast community which is forecast to grow significantly over the next 30 years with the release of urban land at Kings
Forest and West Kingscliff. The 4-laning of the 6.1 km section of road is estimated to cost $55 million and will be undertaken in 6 sections. Funding will be
sourced from developer contributions, works in kind by developers, and government grants.

Creating a greener, welcoming and more vibrant public space in Murwillumbah
Sewer works were scheduled to coincide with the Wollumbin Street beautification project to minimise disruption to residents and motorists. The sewer works
and beautification works to create a greener, welcoming and more vibrant public space were completed on-schedule. The works to install the new sewer rising
main between Commercial Road and Nullum Street aimed to ensure Murwillumbah has the capacity to manage increased flow levels to cater for the growing
population.

Historic Bridge Restoration began
Work began to restore the historic Dunbible Bridge, one of 5 bridges to be restored as part of the construction of the 24 km Tweed section of the Northern
Rivers Rail Trail. Much of the rail and bridge infrastructure along the trail is significantly damaged and decayed, making it unsafe and unsuitable for public use.
These restoration works will see some bridges receive a much-needed facelift including removing the old lead paint and repainting.

Significant damage to road network after 2 flood events in a month
More than 1,900 road repair jobs at an estimated cost of more than $40 million were logged following the rain event of 28 February, with those figures rising
again after a second rain event on 28 March. Major landslips occurred at Scenic Drive in Bilambil, Reserve Creek Road and at Tyalgum Road which will
require long-term works to repair. Emergency works were undertaken including repair of damage to Tweed Valley Way at Tumbulgum, removal of mud from
this road and Dulguigan Rd, removal of landslips and repair of washouts on Byrrill Creek Road and many other rural roads. Additional landslips also occurred
on Tomewin Rd and Balfours Road, Bungalora.

An application has been prepared for funding through the NSW Environmental Trust’s Flying-Fox Camp
Habitat Restoration Program. The intent of the program is to reduce human/ ying-fox con ict by being
proactive in creating potential roost habitat away from densely populated areas. The proposed project
will involve the planting of grey-headed ying-fox habitat on private land on the Rous River and will
combine habitat creation and restoration, monitoring and annual community engagement activities.
Additional bene ts will include enhanced water quality, river bank stability and ood resilience. The
project is to be delivered as a joint project of the biodiversity and waterways programs. Eligibility for
this program was by invitation only; Tweed was one of seven priority Councils invited to prepare an
application under this non-competitive funding stream.

The Tweed Coast Koala Research Hub at Pottsville is now fully operational and since opening its
75%
doors in February 2021, 47 koalas have used the facility for a total of 1125 overnight stays. All
koalas released have been vaccinated with either a single or double shot vaccine. The food tree
plantation is doing very well and is expected to be in full production by spring/summer. The facility
was not impacted by the recent oods, other than restricted access for 3 days. Koalas had been
moved from the facility prior to the event and were moved back in within a week.
$115,000 has been provided by the NSW DPE for koala habitat restoration works in the current
nancial year. The funding will extend existing works and provide additional maintenance at eight
sites (19 ha total area) at Pottsville, Sleepy Hollow, Duranbah, Upper Duroby, Urliup and Bilambil. A
recent planting at Bilambil has held up really well through ooding (15% loss, slightly higher than
85 / 75%
usual 5%). The planting site at Cudgen Nature Reserve (Johannsens) has been inspected, revealing
some signi cant repairs required to the access tracks before works can continue.
The 2021 Tweed Coast koala activity assessment has been completed. Koala activity on the
Tweed Coast appears to remain stable, though further analysis is required to con rm the
preliminary assessment. The results are to be presented to council at a workshop in late April.
Council o cers have made a signi cant contribution to the establishment of regional koala
conservation, recovery and rehabilitation programs. These programs are now being supported by
the state government through the NSW Koala Strategy. The support being provided includes
employment of regional staff to support councils implementing KPOMs, development of a regional
koala conservation strategy and funding for koala conservation and recovery actions.

2000+ trees, shrubs, and groundcovers have been planted to create a lowland rainforest riparian
corridor linking rainforest remnants at Cudgerie Bushland Reserve, Cudgera Creek. This reserve,
dedicated to Council in 2019, covers an area of 10ha and includes a mix of cleared grazing land and
remnant and regenerating native forest. Outcomes include improved water quality to coastal
catchments, improved connectivity of habitat for ora and fauna and restoration of Lowland
Subtropical Rainforest. This project will also contribute to other restoration, revegetation and threat
abatement actions being undertaken concurrently at this reserve, with planning now underway for
additional ying-fox and koala habitat creation using funds through a DPIE Flying-fox grant program.
The Tweed Shire Asset Protection Zone Audit has been completed and all reports, mapping and data
submitted by Eco Logical Australia. The audit was a highly useful exercise and will signi cantly assist
to improve management of APZs through providing an objective, standards based risk assessment of
the APZs consistent with all relevant legislative provisions. The audit results will now be used to
develop a prioritised plan of works required to address the management priorities identi ed.
Community education was highlighted as an important requirement throughout all sites and this will
be explored further in cooperation with NSW Rural Fire Service and the Far North Coast Bush Fire
Management Committee. This project was funded through the NSW O ce of Local Government under
the “Bush re Resilience and Recovery Program”.
Over 30 kilometres of bush re APZ along the Tweed Coast, throughout Tweed Heads and surrounding
suburbs, and in Murwillumbah and Bray Park have been treated for mechanical hazard reduction,
assessed for compliance and hazard reductions activities reported as required under the FNC Bush
Fire Risk Management Plan, prior to the commencement of the bush re danger period (1 September).
The Bushland O cer has also undertaken training in the new RFS ‘Guardian’ program, a multi-agency,
spatial, bush re risk information system, to replace the legacy BRIMS (Bush Fire Risk Information
Management System).
The recent lock-downs and associated home schooling has seen a signi cant surge in the creation of
unauthorised mountain bike jump trails in Council’s bushland estate across the whole LGA. Creation of
these trails has seen associated environmental damage including damage to vegetation, signi cant
soil disturbance, littering, con ict with bushland restoration activities, and potential damage to
Aboriginal Cultural Heritage, Threatened Ecological Communities and State protected Coastal
Wetlands. This issue has required additional staff time and resourcing to assess damage, respond to
multiple and ongoing Customer Service Requests from residents concerned about environmental and
social impacts, monitor areas and attempt to remediate impacted bushland. S&E staff are working
with P&AC staff to nd appropriate solutions to this tricky issue.Goal Update Historic …
In addition to mountain bike jump trails, increased levels of unauthorised riding of unregistered
motorbikes in the Round Mountain/Bogangar and Pottsville areas is also causing damage to Council’s
bushland estate. This is a cross-tenure issue, affecting not only Council land but NPWS Estate and
privately owned bushland and also causing safety issues on Council’s road and path network.
Consequently, a joint compliance program is being investigated in conjunction with NSW National
Parks and Wildlife Service and NSW Police.
Cat monitoring and trapping was undertaken in Wildlife Protection Areas and HCV bushland on the
Tweed Coast. Up to ten individually identi able cats were detected at eight camera locations set up at
priority locations. Most cat records were recorded during the night, however, evidence of cats hunting
during daylight hours was recorded, including domestic cat carrying prey. A comprehensive cage cat
trapping program was carried out in response to the monitoring in April to July 2021. This trapping
program resulted in the capture of two cats at Pottsville Environment Park, including 1 feral cat that
was euthanised.
A fox control program was implemented on the Tweed Coast including works on the Tweed Coast
Regional Crown Reserve, HCV bushland surrounding Koala Beach Estate, Pottsville Wetland, Pottsville
Environment Park and Cudgerie Bushland Reserve.
Percentage of Asset Protection Zones maintained: Asset Protection Zone (APZ) management has been highly constrained due to the ongoing wet
95% to 95% weather and major ooding events throughout the reporting period. Many sites are too wet to access
for vegetation management and slashing. Additionally, the council slasher was damaged in the ood
and so contractors are now required to be sourced for all slashing works. Two key sections of the 100 / 95%
Koala Beach APZ network require signi cant vegetation management work to meet current standards.
These works have been commenced and will be completed prior to the 2022 re season.

Compliance with NSW Government key water quality Water quality compliance with NSW water quality objectives is monitored across the Shire, with
standards and objectives: 75% to 75% monthly testing at multiple sites from the upper catchment to the coastal creeks.
The overall average compliance with water quality objectives for all tests from all sites (2020-2021
reporting period) is 64%.
Water quality varies considerably across different parts of the Shire, and over time in response to
rainfall and tide. Water quality is best in the lower Tweed River Estuary where it is well ushed by tidal
waters. Results are consistently worst within the lower reaches of the creeks owing into the Cobaki
and Terranora Broadwaters. This is due to restricted tidal ushing and poor riparian zone condition in
these sub-catchments. 64 / 75%
